The File > LogFile commands are used to maintain a record of all of a user's interaction with the
system. This record is referred to as the “log file”
or “logfile.” Logfiles are standard ASCII text files
that can be typed, edited, printed, etc. like any
other text file. When you start recording to a log
file, you have the option of appending to the file
or overwriting it if it already exists.

stamp, and any non-graphic command output.
For example, the cursor commands write the
statistics at the final cursor position to the log
file, Analyze > Cursor writes a copy of any 17 x
17 pixel dumps, Process > Stress > Biaxial2D
writes a copy of the contents of its scrollable
output window, etc. Commands and output are
added to the log file until the File > LogFile >
Enabled option is turned off or the user switches
projects, which will automatically close any open
log file.
The File > LogFile > Enabled command does
not actually close the log file; it just tells the program to temporarily stop writing output to the
file. If you need to access the current log file in
another process while GADDS is still running,
for example to edit it from another window, you
should close the file first. You can close the log
file by running File > LogFile with another filename. The program will close the current file
before starting a new one.
The File > LogFile > Enabled command toggles
the current state of recording to the log file. If
logging is enabled, the command disables it. If
logging is disabled, the command re-enables it.
A check mark is displayed in the menu next to
the File > LogFile > Enabled command if logging
is currently enabled. From the SLAM command
line, LOGFILE /ON and LOGFILE /OFF enable
and disable scripting, respectively.
The log file records each command issued,
along with its parameter values, a date/time
